VANCOUVER HAS | FINE HARBORS Enthusiastic Citizens of Island Gity Call It “American” ‘Washington, D. C., July 27.—"Van- couver, where President Harding 1is, one of the few presidents to pay a friendly visit to a city beyond the bor- ders of the U'nited States, has one of the half dozen safest and most com- modious harbors in the world," says & bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geo- graphic soclety. “Indeed the Vancouver citizen will tell you that it is the ‘second finest harbor In the world,' generously leav. ing yon to pick the first for yourself. Bhipping news of Vancouver often is shipping history ag when, recently, the ‘Empress of Canada’' cut down the trans-Pacific running time to a new low record, and her crew was feted by the city for their performance. “The Vancouver enthusiast pro- claims his city ‘American’—and it is just that in respect to enterprise, zest and civie spirit. In loyalty, though, 1t is extremely Canadian and it typi- fies the spirlt of modern Canada as vividly as our own Kansas City, St. Louis, and Omaha represent our vig- orous Mississippi-Missouri valley. Near in Time, I'ar in Customs. “Vancouver is five hours from Vic- toria by boat; but the two are five cen- turies apart in some of their customs. Their feellng toward each other is not one of jealousy——they are too dif- ferent for that. Victoria regards Van- couver as a growing boy, exuberant, epirited, and a bit too flushed with his own achievements; Vancouver ,looks upon Victoria with the respect 'and tolerance one bstrows upon a | gentle maiden aunt who is a bit old- ‘fashioned. Victoria is frankly Vie- torian; Vencouver is aggressively modern. “Vancouver considers her commer- clal rival the third city of this un- usual water-bound civic triangle, which is Beattle. She tries to con- vince the thousands of summer tour- ists, the great majority from ‘the ! States’ that she has sights to offer as well as Victoria; and she seeks to show the business man that she af- i fords the best shipping facllities north of Ban Francisco. Vancouver—City and Island. “Vanoouver has her troubles with nomenclature, as has San Francisco. ‘When you say Vancouver you mean the city,’ is the gist of the idea she seeks to impart. If you speak of Van- couver Island, Vancouver would have you, as would the Victorians, simply #ay ‘the island.’ It troubles Vancouver & bit to have the capital city of Brit- ish Columbia located on ‘the island,' but oceasional suggestions of a change have never been taken seriously. “A rallroad made Vancouver. Any- one who spins across prairies and mountains on an express from Mon- treal or Toronto to Vancouver must marvel at the vision and skiil of the men who ‘bridged two oceans and linked four continents.’ “With all the comforts of your club you are whisked among snow- capped and unclimbed mountains, across dizzy canyons, through a five- mile tunnel, and if yon would stop over to see some world-famed natur- al beauty spot, such as peak-dotted Banff or azure and altitudinous Lake Louise, the railroad has built you a hotel and even has thoughtfully pro- vided ponies for your children to ride. “At your continental trail's end, ‘Vancouver, as in other cities you en- counter another nation-building cor- poration, the Hudson's Bay company. For' that historic company which still trades supplies for furs with the re- mote Eskimos at ice-bound posts now operates a chain of department stores .where tweeds, golf balls, ear-rings and & thousand ultra-modern articles are stocked. “Vancouver's Stanley Park, with its glant cedars and firs, is renowned and its lure attracts the sea-borne visitor as he passes the ‘first narrows’ of the eity’s harbor. The eity has preserved its trees and flowers though they oc- cupy a peninsular waterfront site where real estate is at a premium, Goblins of the Beach. “Its clean streets, new office bulld- ings, modern apartments, brisk traf- flo, all are a part of its modernism Its distinctive recreation facility is its English bathing beach where, until a few years ago, the women kept pretty much to one end of the beach and men to the other. That time has passed. But the custom of wearing one's bathing robe to the edge of the water survives; and when it is re.| moved it would seem that the actual swimming costume is meant, from it brevity, for swimming. It i not vol uminous enough to hamper the swim- | * mer. There is no parading the beach| in these costumes. One goes to the English bathing beach to get in the water. “The beach withholds its most pic- turesque aspect until nightfall. Then many driftwood fires are bullt along the shore at which bathers dry them- selves before going home in automo- biles. With eerle figures dancing around many fires one may recall the days before Simon Fraser paddled a canoe along the river now named for him, and George Vancouver arrived, to find Indians tending beacon fires along these very shores to signal the homeward way to their fishing can- oes."
